there are shotguns out there, shotguns more than 30 years old, built on the AK rifle platform that can take drums that hold more than 30 12 gauge shells and be modified to use a full auto AK rifle trigger group. we had the tech in the 80s to make a shotgun that can dump 30 rounds in 5 seconds, although we haven't invented wrists and shoulders that can match that yet
like, today, there is a bit of an argument that bolt action snipers are still capable of a higher accuracy ceiling if built, tuned and maintained to extremely high standards, but if you're just finding a sniper rifle on the greasy floor of some doom wad esque sci fi fortress, odds are a semi automatic rifle is going to be 100% as effective and accurate as any bolt action, and easier to use too. and the main reason pump action shotguns still exist is for civilians. that's it
always just, absolutely fascinating to me when sci fi shooters just, decide that actually in the time since the 21st century, the well developed technology of semi automatic weaponry has been lost, but only for shotguns and sniper rifles, because so many scifi shooters insist on still having bolt action sniper rifles and pump action shotguns, despite the fact that they're very niche weapons at this point beyond civilian use, and would be even less useful in 100 years

@maestrafenix binary implies a strict one or the other, non-binary identities can sit anywhere on the scale, you can be 99% of the way to feeling like a woman and still consider yourself non-binary
@Angela I really should have majored in hydraulic augmented prosthetics huh

@ginny I've seen plenty of this. Sooner or later it just feels like people with privilege don't want to confront their uncomfortable feelings from seeing a mutual aid post and not wanting to do anything to help, so they just try to hide them so they can get away without helping or feeling guilty
⚠️ 🙏 ⚠️
3 months and my previous mutual aid post was going nowhere. Let's try again.
Still metaphorically drowning after the real flood ordeal. I need help. I need surgery. I need furniture. The amount I'm asking for is far below what I actually need.

wough two days later!! here's a release #picocalc
https://github.com/Lana-chan/picocalc-smsplus/releases/tag/0.1
CW: kink
my new political praxis is to get around trans girls being uncomfortable topping/domming due to the potential assosciations with traditionally male roles in sexuality, we need to completely break up the assosciation between topping and domming, more service tops and power bottoms
CW: horny, kink, period
"oh sure I can top, but you're gonna have to truss me like a prey animal and set the pace, those are my terms"
CW: horny, kink, period
The only trans girl who can top in a 300 mile radius and I only want to service top like 90% of the time, we really are in a bad state girls
@dandylover1 oh. You're just a bigot, there we go
@dandylover1 this seems very exclusionary of non-binary identities and people who don't want to use masculine or feminine pronouns
